 Nexusless is a peer-to-peer network for delivering web content (websites, streaming video, VR) that allows anyone to earn money by pledging the unused capacity of their computers and smartphones.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
A content delivery network, or a CDN, is a group of servers that is geographically spread out to ensure a shorter route to each particular end user, depending on their physical location. In practice, this means that content from the origin server is first copied to several large data centers across the world (also called “points of presence” or PoP) and then delivered to the final consumers of content from these PoP’s - without having to ask the origin server every single time an end used wants to request that data. Apart from higher loading speed, the plusses of such setup usually include load balancing as well as more resilience to traffic spikes and attacks.
The above might not sound too thrilling, before you realize that the vast majority of web content each of us views and interact with every single day comes to us through CDNs. If we compare the large online services like Google, Facebook, etc, to the heart of the Internet – then content delivery networks are the extensive and robust circulatory system that delivers vital blood to the oxygen-hungry cells across the entire body.
Taking this into account, Nexusless aims to tap into the spare bandwidth, storage, and processor time of the billions of consumer devices spread throughout the modern world. Each of them is now significantly more potent than the most advanced supercomputers of the 1990s and is being actively used only a fraction of the time. So, instead of delivering web content exclusively by specialized computers from remote server farms, our vision is to serve it from nearby available laptops or smartphones – at scale. In the process, internet users will be able to become service providers and get paid for making the Web more efficient and equal.
TECHNOLOGY
At the heart of the Nexusless concept is a global, distributed content-addressing filesystem based on the IPFS proposed by the Protocol Labs – a cross between a peer-to-peer file tracker and a versioning system, with each piece of data having a permanent and immutable identifier derived from its unique cryptographic signature. Mutable containers allow creating updatable addresses for a seamless integration with the existing infrastructure of the Web, such as the classical Domain Name System (DNS).
To motivate the network’s participants to provide the storage and networking capacity of their personal computers and mobile devices, a marketplace-type incentives layer is added to Nexusless which allows efficiently managing and rewarding the network’s activity without a central intermediary. This is made possible by using a permissionless blockchain with a consensus protocol based on a novel combination of proofs of retrievability and delivery. The necessary transaction speed is ensured by a micropayment network functioning on top of the blockchain, based on the Lightning Protocol.
As a result, any individual in possession of a consumer-grade computing device (a desktop computer, a notebook, a tablet or even a smartphone) will be able to earn income on the Nexusless network by letting their device act as an edge node (point of presence) which delivers web content to web users. The global filesystem foundation helps increase validity, while physical proximity contributes to lower load and network latency (in other words, allows shorter loading times).
FUTURE POTENTIAL
Despite being a significant step from the current status quo, the Nexusless network is not only an end goal but also a potential basis for a new generation of inherently more decentralized web services such as hosting, content management, vpn, payments - while contributing to a more open and fair Internet where any individual can monetize their available computing and networking resources in various ways, in an ecosystem of flexible and robust public marketplaces.
While Nexusless edge nodes are quite symmetric in most respects in the original design, specialization and speciation can prove practical as a critical mass of participants joins the network. This potentially allows for new useful collective capabilities, resulting in additional services for the end users, such as for example:
TRANSPARENCY
The Nexusless legal entity is registered in the European Union (Riga, Latvia) and therefore complies with existing norms and regulations of the EU. We have obtained official opinions from the country's Tax Authority and Finance Markets Commission as to the legal compliance of the project. Our goal is to be fully transparent to all parties and to act with respect to the local legislation, thus also helping to improve the overall image of blockchain and token communities in the eyes of traditional power structures. Moreover, we are cooperating with the Investment and Development Agency of Latvia with respect to improving the blockchain ecosystem in the country.

Hello,
How to we learn a new language?
What is the most practical method of learning a new language?
What are the methods of learning that you apply and benefit you?
I've been learning Chinese since 2016, so far discovered that in the case of a completely foreign language with no cultural ties to your mother tongue, 3 things are important: consistency, mindfulness and persistence. The second one is probably less obvious that the others, so here's an explanation: in addition to simply trying to learn everything by heart, it pays to actively try to understand the underlying system, the structure of the language, and the connections between its parts. Not only does it help advance faster, it can also provide a great insight into the culture and the mindset of the people whose language you're learning. |

Is it better to save money in bank or invest it online, in real estate or maybe gold?
Since "better" is a relative quality, I'm very tempted to say "it depends"  in particular, it depends on the personal preferences such as spending habits (now and in the future), risk aversion, etc. In any case though, as a trained financier the best advise I can provide is consider the risk-return profile of each particular investment and construct a diversified portfolio of several different types of assets so that their risk-return profiles mitigated the overall portfolio risk. In this context, each investment has both advantages and drawbacks and can only be evaluated fully as a part of a diversified portfolio, e.g. having a deposit in a bank wouldn't hurt in any case, and banks don't tend to go bankrupt too often (and, there are governmental protection schemes for bank deposits in many countries) - however, the interest is really low these days, and yes, banks CAN indeed go bust, albeit infrequently. Real estate is a great way of holding a physical asset which you can actually touch, with easily understood value and that is hard to destroy - but it's far from being a liquid investment, and the returns manifest over long periods of time. Gold and other similar stores of value (like bitcoin for instance) have the advantage of being easily transferable (liquid) and hard to destroy at the same time, but their prices tend to fluctuate quite substantially. To sum up, there's no "perfect" investment, the time-tested approach is a diversified portfolio that corresponds to your personal preferences and time/liquidity constraints. |

Not sure bitcoin and income tax are in the same dimension and thus a realistic connection can be drawn between the two to make predictions: bitcoin is a type of value exchange mechanism, in other words it is an economic construct. Taxes, in turn, are primarily legal constructs, i.e. they are essentially rules enforceable in a specific country's court system. Bitcoins can be taxed or not, fiat currency can be taxed or not, any combination is possible and depends on the state of the specific legal system, imho.
In other words, here's a simple 2x2 matrix where any cell is a possible situation; the bottom left cell is the situation in most countries at the moment:
+------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------+
| Taxes exist, bitcoin has legal status | No income tax, bitcoin has legal status |
+------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------+
| Taxes exist, bitcoin has no legal status | No income tax, bitcoin has no legal status |
+------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------+
Some examples: firstly, imagine a certain country decides to accept bitcoin as legal tender (i.e. equivalent to money), the necessary prerequisite for that to happen is that the banking system starts working with it on par with the national currency. If that happens, banks will do KYC and AML procedures on the incoming bitcoins, which essentially removes anonymity from the latter. And allows it to be taxed just like any other type of value exchange mechanism. Another example from the above 2x2 matrix is a country with no income tax (e.g. Estonia and Latvia don't charge corporate income tax unless you withdraw dividends) but no legal status for bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. The remaining two cells of the matrix are also easily imaginable.
